Our 9.30am service on Sunday 31st May will be led by Rev Tony Shumack from Glen Innes, who has been closely involved in the development of the NSW.ACT Synod Presbytery Transition project. All are welcome.

The theme is "Jesus's Resurrection Peopleโ€ - we will explore the transformative truth of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, our new identity in him, and the everyday reality of living as a people working together towards a single purpose: love.

Afterwards we gather for a time of connecting over a cuppa in the Auditorium. New people and visitors are most welcome to join us.

Jesus Christ, our Brother and Redeemer,

You are the cornerstone of our unity, the one who breaks down the walls of division. We bring before You today the Covenant between the UAICC and the Uniting Church in Australiaโ€”a sacred promise to walk together, to share power, and to seek truth.

We confess that fulfilling this covenant is hard work. It requires us to face painful histories and uncomfortable truths. Give us courage, Lord. Do not let us settle for a cheap reconciliation that bypasses justice. Where trust has been eroded, pour out Your healing balm.

We pray that the wider Church will honour this covenant not as a document on a shelf, but as a living, breathing relationship. Woven together in Your love across cultures and boundaries, may we become a true reflection of Your kingdomโ€”where First Peoples are respected in our sovereign identity, and Second Peoples walk beside us in humility and truth. Renew our shared vow to be a destiny-bound people.

Amen.

Join us this Sunday at Manning Uniting Church at 9.30am for worship led by Bill Hennessy. Itโ€™s Pentecost Sunday, celebrated on the seventh Sunday after Easter, commemorating the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus while they were in Jerusalem, empowering them to spread the Gospel.

Pentecost is an affirmation that the Spirit empowers us, enables us, helps us to do what God calls us to do and is widely regarded as the โ€œbirthday of the Churchโ€.

Bill will also be talking about National Reconciliation Week which takes place from 27 May to 3 June. The official theme for 2026 is "All In", serving as a powerful reminder that reconciliation is an ongoing, active journey for all Australians.

After the service we gather for a time of connecting over a cuppa. New people and visitors are most welcome to share a cuppa and cake with us.

All are welcomeโ€”see you this Sunday!

"My house has still got no kitchen and no bathroomโ€: SES volunteer Bruce Saunders is among those rebuilding a year on from a one-in-500-year flood devastated the mid north coast last May.

The Wingham resident had spent months using a caravan bathroom before a toilet was installed in his house.
โ€œI've now got an ensuite that works so we don't have to go outside to go to the loo anymore," he said.
